Serie A 2023-24 Season

[Wee Baby Seamus]

To be honest the official and especially the VAR had money on Atalanta tonight, I can't explain the way they reffed any other way.

If there's anything refs are doing, it's rigging games in favour of small provincial clubs and against Juventus

You were watching Chelsea. I'm as surprised as you are but both the refs and VAR missed a penalty and a red card. And the general direction was very pro Atalanta which made Allegri go all Ned Braten at the end.

all that can be true and yet i'll still be dead in the ground before a small side getting calls in Italy is match-fixing rather than just reffing incompetence

 

[Juve]

Normally I'd be excited. Allegri sucked all the passion from me.

Allegri just started screaming at people and ripping his shirts off

First half was beautiful, second half you parked the bus Allegri style, but hey it worked.

I lost my passion the same way Bergevin killed my passion for the Canadiens.

Why don't you buy them off Napoli's official website? It's what I do in Barcelona, guarantees me no unpleasant surprises.

Circling back on my question from a few months back. Looking to buy tix for the Napoli match on 5/26 and only doing from their website, as recommended. They just got listed yesterday but are only available to supporters through 5/19 and then the general public on 5/20.

I don't really have a specific question, just wanted to see if anyone has any experience purchasing straight off of their site? We will already be in Italy on 5/20, so just hoping I can smoothly purchase the tix.

Fiorentina's 2-2 home draw against Napoli does neither club any good, really. Fiorentina hold on to their Conference league spot, but little chance of upgrading it to Europa League position in the remaining league matches.

Their best hope seems winning the Conf.League final.

Likewise Napoli's chances of catching Fiorentina (and not to be overtaken by other teams at the same time) look much slimmer now. So likely no European matches for them next season.

Duvan Zapata heads Torino ahead against Milan, who has nothing to play for.

Torino is still fighting for a spot in Europe, Conference league realistically, now moving ahead of Napoli as it stands.

Milan fields a much changed side, B-team you could say, LB Terraciano given his starting debut.

Edit: Ilic makes it 2-0 with another header. MIlan defence haven't been good, especially CB pair Tomori's and Thiaw's positioning and marking has been poor.

Edit2: To pour more misery on Milan, Ricardo Rodriguez scores with a great shot at the start of 2nd half against his old club.

Edit3: Pulisic earns a PK, and Bennacer converts it on 54th min.

Fazzini is such a shit player, and Empoli's coach is a moron for putting him in all the f***ing time. His being unable to not foul on the last play of the game against Udinese might have cost his team relegation.

Just now watched the match.

Quite a drama during the added time. It was clear penalty because of the shirt pulling, but Udinese player probably could have scored without that foul. Niang's PK wasn't the best, but went in, whereas Samardzic's PK was very well taken, especially considering it was 104th minute.

Despite having Parades sent off for two yellows, Roma rised to a win over Genoa. Lukaku's header was enough today.

The result secures Roma a spot in the Europa League next season.

Earlier today Inter were already almost in holiday mood, but got a 1-1 draw at home against Lazio after falling behind. At the end of the match they had a trophy presentation ceremony on the pitch.

 

[gary69]

Verona confirm their survival in Serie A by winning 2-1 away against already relegated Salernitana.

 

[gary69]

Juve on holiday mood already, as Tiago Motta's Bologna make it 1-0 on 2nd minute. Calafiori with his first Serie A goal.

2-0 after 10 mins.

 

[Juve]

2-0 after 10 mins.

Motta might even say "f*** it! I am staying at Bologna."

 

[luiginb]

2-0 at half time, this Bologna side is missing 7 starters btw...

3-0, Calafiori again. Next big Italian center back, mark my word. Better than Scalvini.

 

[Juve]

2-0 at half time, this Bologna side is missing 7 starters btw...

3-0 now. Motta is probably rethinking his choices.

 

[luiginb]

3-0 now. Motta is probably rethinking his choices.

And Bologna just put 3 more starters on the pitch.

 

[gary69]

Juve staging a comeback, 3-2 now. First Chiesa, and now Milik with a decent free kick with a slight deflection.

And Yildiz makes it 3-3. Three goals in 7 minutes.

 

[luiginb]

Motta with some horrible substitutions

 

[Juve]

Wild come back

 

[gary69]

It looked like Claudio Ranieri was going to end his managerial career with a win, but Fiorentina scored a late equalizer and even later winner with a 103th minute PK.

That win guarantees Fiorentina 8th place in the league and a spot in next season's Conference league.
And if they win the Conf. league final next week, they'll be in the Europa League instead.

 

[gary69]

Rafael Leao scores an empty netter after Salernitana keeper drops a lobbed ball straight at his feet. Lots of fairwells in the match for Milan: Pioli, Giroud, Kjaer...

Edit: then Giroud scores in his final match, 49th goal for the club and 15th of the season, not bad.

Edit2: Leao sets up nicely surging Theo Fernandez to make it 3-0. Or not, ruled out for offside.

 

[gary69]

Tomori and Company terrible at defending a corner, no marking whatsoever. Allowing Simy a free header to make it 2-1.

And just minutes later, Simy header hits the bar.

Edit: skipper Calabria settles some nerves, making it 3-1 with his first goal of the season. Pulisic assist.

Edit2: Terrible loss of concentration by Milan, allowing two goals within two minutes, on 87th and 89th minute.
